I believe my accident was the reason that Landers Road and Warden Road 
in North Little Rock, Arkansas are now each one way. Someone tried to 
make a left turn in front of me while they were coming out of a Walmart 
parking lot. Needless to say, there wasn't enough time. I broadsided 
them at 35 mph, no time to hit my brakes. That was going on 22 years 
ago. Arthritis is what's getting me now in addition to the SCI. There 
was an ambulance about five cars behind me in the line of traffic and 
the EMTs saw the wreck. When the EMT got to my car door and found I was 
still alive, he told me he was expecting to find a corpse. Needless to 
say, I could have done without the Traumatic Brain Injury from my 
forehead hitting the windshield. An airbag wouldn't have done me any 
good. I saw the same wreck reenacted on TV years later with a car with 
an airbag and it didn't set off the airbag.
